Private Energy Sector Protests New Generators in Dhekelia
February 28, 2025
The private energy sector in Cyprus is protesting the upgrade of the power station in Dhekelia, arguing that the cost recovery from all consumers would strengthen EAC's dominant position in the market. The Electricity Market Association (ΣΑΗ) has accused the Cypriot government of providing state aid to EAC through these measures. ΣΑΗ believes issues of electricity supply can be resolved with alternative solutions, such as utilizing the power station in Vasilikos. The government's decision to proceed with the installation of new generators has raised concerns about potential market implications.
